Favorite Movie That Flopped
Mine has to be The Adventures of Pluto Nash and Death to Smoochy.

Death to Smoochy is a classic.
My favorite Jim Carrey movie that noone else seems to like is Cable Guy. I guess people didn't like his dark, stalker character, but i found it hilarious.

No question...
Dangerous Beauty. One of my favorite movies of all time, which only grossed about $5 million in the US.
One review: "`Dangerous Beauty' is one of those films that came and went so quickly most people don't even know it exists, which is a sad thing because the film is one of the year's best. `Dangerous Beauty' failed at the box office because it was a period piece, which most people associate with those long-in-the-tooth Merchant Ivory films. What audience's failed to realize is that `Dangerous Beauty' is a period piece with attitude, told with sharp, witty dialogue against a canvas filled with stunning, gorgeous images."

Y'all are gonna laugh, but mine would have to be the 1992 movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This is mainly because the flop still managed to inspire the hit TV series for which I am eternally grateful. LOL.

Well I don't know that they flopped, but I adore Super Troopers and Sorority Boys.

THANK YOU! SOMEONE ELSE HAS SEEN THIS GREAT MOVIE.
It got gutted with the critics, but I think it had a great story for what it was, an over-the-top cliche macho fest. They did it very well.

I loved that movie, too! I saw it on Cinemax, though. I didn't even realize it had been in theatres!
My favorite flop movie is "Mr. Wrong" with Ellen DeGeneres and the-guy-who-played-the-president-in-independence-day. I still laugh my a** off when he dresses as a clown and climbs up to her window.

Hell yeah I saw that too. Great movie. You know they're making a sequel?
But in terms of movies I like being money makers - most of the movies I like were really small ones so they didn't make money.
